Preparation

Step 1

The winter and holiday season has everyone making some hot chocolate or mocha coffee to warm up with while sitting by the fire in your cozy fuzzy slippers.  I’m here to tell you to put that down right now and turn your attention to some White Hot Chocolate.

Combine 1/2 cup beer and gelatin in the bowl of a stand mixer and set aside

Combine 1 1/2 cups sugar, 1 cup corn syrup, salt, and 1/2 cup beer in a small sauce pan

Cook over medium heat until sugar dissolves

Increase heat until liquid boils, either heat until temp reaches 240 or boil for two minutes, remove from heat

Lock mixer bowl with gelatin and water into the stand mixer, attach whisk, and turn on low

Slowly stream syrup mixture into gelatin with mixer continuing on low

Increase mixer speed to high and continue whipping until fluffy, about 15 minutes

Add vanilla, whisk another 30 seconds or so

Dust a casserole dish with 1/4 cup powdered sugar to coat, transfer marshmallow mix to dish, leave uncovered overnight - either in refrigerator or on counter

Combine remaining 1/2 cup of powdered sugar with the cornstarch and sprinkle it all over a large cutting board

Turn marshmallow square onto the prepared cutting board and cut into desired shapes, turning each piece to coat in the powdered sugar once cut

Combine milk, vanilla, and white chocolate chips in a small sauce pan and heat on low until chocolate is melted, stir to combine and make smooth

Pour hot chocolate into cups, top with marshmallow and whipped cream, if using

This recipe makes two 1 cup servings of White Hot Chocolate and the amount of marshmallows will vary depending how they are cut
